HOUSE OF HISTORIES
Th«- Deutsches Museum in Munich, which covers about nine acres of ground, with nearly nine miles of rooms and halls, is a great house of histories in which the entire record of man’s work upon the earth is condensed dramatised. hi .1903 von Miller laid his idea for what was to become the Deutsches Museum before a gathering of German industrialists, scientists, and engineers. Tho response was enthusiastic, and immediately the forces of industry and labour all over Germany began to mobilise their skill ami money. By 1913 the buildings to house the 60,000 exhibits, on a site donated l»y the city, were virtually finished, but the war intervened, and it was not until 1925 that the museum was formally opened.
